Lark was furious as he commanded, “Tell everyone not to engage with Killadrag and his crew!”He then took out his phone and called Killdrag, sternly questioning, “What are you doing?!”“Hello, Mr. Lark. Is something wrong?”“Don’t play games with me! Why are you seizing my family’s businesses?” Lark questioned as he grew increasingly angry.Killadrag chuckled. “Oh, that? It’s just that my men have been a little short on cash. We thought we should use a few of your businesses to make some extra money. Is that a reasonable enough explanation, Mr. Lark?”“How dare you!” Lark grew red with rage. “Remember, my family made the Four Extremes! You idiots wouldn’t exist without us. Order your men to withdraw now!”Killadrag scoffed. “Indeed, you’re right. Although your family created us, we’ve killed and smuggled various things for your family. We’ve repaid your favors tenfold. Your family only gives us a meager share of profits, even with such rapid development. How will we feed our men?

“Understood. I’ll get on it now.” Humphrey left with the jade pendant.Meanwhile, Xayne and Draven sat calmly in a cafe outside the Loyas’ residence, watching the steward rush off. Draven chuckled, saying, “Drakon King, you were right. The Loyas are in a panic.” Xayne simply nodded and sipped his coffee. Soon after, they saw Humphrey running out and into a luxury car. Draven frowned and asked, “Sir, should I follow him?”“Sure, we’ll go together. Let’s see what the Loyas have up their sleeves.”The duo then followed Humphrey’s car and soon reached Western Petrea, a development zone with numerous factories, metalworks, and auto repair shops. Amid them stood a seven-story ancient building. Over time, the building had become weathered.Humphrey’s car stopped at the ancient building, and he stepped out of the car. He saw a golden signboard with two words on it—Lyphan Tower.When he entered, he saw a lean, shirtless man skillfully deboning meat with a cleaver in the backyard. Each cu

“Killadrag?! One of the Four Extremes?” Mick turned solemn as he stopped walking to scrutinize Humphrey. The former smiled coldly and said, “Your family’s relationship with them is well-known throughout Hacincth. Why should my brothers and I get involved in killing Killadrag?”Humphrey chuckled awkwardly and explained, “He seized dozens of my family’s businesses this morning, Mr. Mick. In a fit of anger, my brother sent me here to request your help.”Mick nodded in understanding and said, “I see. Let’s go then.”Humphrey nodded back and said hesitantly, “Is that it? Shouldn’t we bring more people or weapons?”Mick shook his head. “Nope.”He then stepped out of the tower. However, he froze as his foot touched the ground outside. He tensed all over as he stared ahead intensely. Humphrey noticed Mick’s behavior and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, Mr. Mick?”“They’re here.” Mick’s sudden aura release sent shivers down Humphrey’s spine.“Who is?” Humphrey instinctively asked.“Fo

Xayne remained indifferent as he turned away. “Remember my words well. You and your brothers are not allowed to meddle in Hacincth’s affairs.”Mick clutched his abdomen and spat a mouthful of blood as he glared at Xayne and Draven leave.‘That guy is so strong, yet he hasn’t shown me his full strength. When did such a formidable foe appear in Hacincth?’Mick observed Humphrey, who lay on the ground. The former walked over to check on him, realizing Humphrey was not dead, only temporarily paralyzed.Mick then instructed his men to bring Humphrey back to the Loyas.Afterward, Mick left a message for Humphrey that read, “The Lymphan Tower will suspend its business and will no longer interfere with matters concerning Hacincth. As for the debt my brothers and I owe your family, we will settle it later.”Mick quickly went to the backyard and opened a secret passage. Soon after, he reached an underground chamber, where he saw his two elder brothers meditating.Mick knelt and reported,

Lark took a seat and said, “Mr. Alexander, the Four Extremes have turned against us and seized dozens of my family’s establishments.”Alexander smiled faintly and responded, “That’s not surprising. Someone single-handedly defeated Killadrag at Phonetail Mountain last night.”“What?” Lark finally realized what had happened. “Someone must be scheming against my family from behind the scenes.”Alexander nodded. “Precisely.”Lark’s expression darkened as he slammed his armrest and exclaimed, “Damn it! Who the hell would target my family? Could it be the other five families or Schuman?”Alexander chuckled and said, “None of them.”“Wait, what? Who else could it be?” Lark grew increasingly anxious.Alexander shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but they’re cautious. Still, it seems they’re targeting the Bullards based on the pattern of their actions.”“Who would target the Bullards?” Lark became frantic, knowing no sane person would dare target the Bullards.Alexander said smilin

Alexander concluded his brief speech and descended the stage. He then approached a private meeting room in the back with Lark and the other Loyas. Invited attendees included the heads of the five prominent families and Schuman.A roundtable conference took place inside the private meeting room. The atmosphere was somewhat solemn as the group sat at the table. Everyone there was a significant Hacincth figure capable of influencing the entire region.Lark smiled lightly and began, “Tonight’s discussion involves Hacincth’s future development, so it’s a highly confidential meeting. I request that everyone surrender their phones. Please tell your bodyguards to step outside.”The others frowned in confusion.Caden Obrien, the head of the Obrien family, sneered. “You’re not pulling a fast one on us, are you? What if you trap us all here? If so, your family can take over Hacincth.”“He’s right, Mr. Lark. We won’t surrender our phones. Speak your mind. There’s no need to be so mysterious.”

The three family heads glanced at each other before sitting back down.“All right, we’re willing to talk just based on your claims, Mr. Alexander.”Meanwhile, the Blanton, Sarratt, and Fitzgerald families nodded silently. Soon, a specialist entered and collected everyone’s phones. Then, the bodyguards left the meeting room. Only nine people remained.Alexander said smilingly, “Let’s begin, shall we? We shall discuss Mr. White, the overseas investor. As prominent Hacincth figures, you all should have gathered some information on him. My elders want to be a part of his seventy billion dollar investment. Does anyone object?”Everyone fell silent for a moment.Finally, Lark said, “Six of us have no objections. We can cooperate better with that foreigner if we collaborate with your family, Mr. Alexander.”Since the other family heads and Schuman did not voice opposition, Alexander continued, “Very well, we’ve reached a preliminary consensus. My family wishes for the Loya family to act
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 974
“Y-You’re forcing us to cooperate!”“This is outrageous! How dare your family act so poorly!”“Lark, you’re the head of a prestigious family in Hacincth! Can’t you say something?!”The heads of the five prominent families were furious. Alexander’s methods had angered them. Even so, Lark smiled and calmly said, “I’m sorry, but I agree with Mr. Alexander’s proposal. I advise you all not to oppose the Bullards. Otherwise, we might cease to exist in Hacincth.”He looked triumphant as he spoke. Even Humphrey looked arrogant at that moment. After all, the Bullards were their most considerable reliance. The Loyas would do whatever the Bullards said.The heads of the five families were outraged after hearing Lark’s response. The head of the Sarratt family looked at Schuman and said, “Won’t you say something?”Schuman’s expression darkened as he considered the situation. He then smiled and said, “It seems my interests aren’t involved in this distribution, correct?”Finally, everyone real

Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al
Chapter 2687
"Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s
Chapter 2686
Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning
Chapter 2685
Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp
Chapter 2684
Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about
Chapter 2683
Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c
Chapter 2682
After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
Chapter 2681
They had been supreme powerhouses, returning from the outer battlegrounds—warriors far beyond the likes of those reclusive Radiant Commanders of Eukrania. The environments that had shaped them could not have been more different.In the outer battlegrounds, battles to the death had been a daily occurrence. Meanwhile, the so-called Bi-Radiant Commanders of Eukrania had spent their days in seclusion. The gap between them had been as vast as the heavens and the abyss.That was precisely why Xayne had been able to slaughter eight of them at the outset yet still failed to bring down the remaining three. When it came to battle experience, understanding of formations, and sheer mental fortitude, Fent and Elder Stringer had surpassed the others by an overwhelming margin."You overestimate yourselves. I was merely testing some insights I've recently comprehended!" Xayne’s voice was cold.The moment those words fell, Fent and Elder Stringer’s expressions darkened."Xayne, you are indeed formidabl
Chapter 2680
Xayne spun abruptly, his Ravenclaw Dagger and Scarlet Dragon Lance striking out at Elder Stringer and Fent in unison. In an instant, dazzling light engulfed the sky, turning everything into a blinding silver-white.The sheer intensity caused distant cameras to suffer momentary overexposure, while those positioned too close melted instantly under the searing heat waves. The shockwave from their clash alone sent entire blocks of buildings crumbling into rubble. Yet despite the destruction, Xayne was not unscathed—his skin split open, and blood flowed freely from his wounds.Still, he remained standing, his Scarlet Dragon Lance firmly in his grasp, his figure as proud and unyielding as ever. What troubled him most, however, was the phantom of himself conjured by the enemy’s formation. After all, no one understood him better than himself.As expected, the moment presented itself. The phantom Xayne seized the opportunity and launched a sneak attack at his back.Without turning his head, Xay
